ADHD would be better described as “executive dysfunction”, essentially the issue is not that people with ADHD cannot pay attention, it’s that they have difficulty controlling where their attention is focused. People with ADHD are actually better at focusing than neurotypical people, they just can’t direct that focus, and it is captured by whatever the person with ADHD finds most interesting in a given moment.

ADHD does not negatively impact intelligence like AI use does, rather it impacts executive function.

If you gave these AI brainrot victims the medication commonly used to treat ADHD, it would not assuage the effects that the AI has had on their cognitive abilities.
